General

If a slightly more affordable Roland RD-88 is what you're after, the RD-08 is undoubtedly the perfect stage piano for you. While trimmed down a little here and there, this model remains incredibly extensive and offers most keyboardists more than they will ever need.

The Roland RD-08: Features

The ivory-style PHA-4 Progressive Hammer Action keys combine with Roland's own SuperNATURAL and ZEN-Core sound engines, where the SuperNATURAL engine gives you unprecedented piano and e-piano sound, while the ZEN-Core takes care of the strings, wind instruments, organs and more. All of the functions and settings are effortlessly navigated, and the whole thing is certainly more than manageable enough to take gigging.

Optional Upgrade

As your skills and repertoire grows, you might need your stage piano to grow along with you. The optional RD-08 Upgrade not only expands the built-in sounds with a fat stack of new sounds, but adds USB audio interface capabilities, two virtual slots for Wave Expansions on Roland Cloud, and Apple MainStage support.

Brilliant stage piano. Compact design. Very strong on acoustic and electric pianos. Decent keyboard action. 13.5kg travel weight. Pro feel at a really decent price.

ik had een hele oude piano van casio maar ik wou een nieuwe na lang zoeken voor de prijs die ik wou heb ik deze gevonden. het is een top product zo veel klanken. je kunt opnemen via een kabel met je computer (midi). je kunt de key touch zelfs aan passen er zijn zo veel goede dingen hier over te zeggen. prijs kwaliteit verhouding is super goed.
top product

J'avais un Kawai ES120 qui avait un très bon son de piano, mais les touches n'étaient pas encore comparables à celles d'un piano acoustique. J'ai essayé le RD-08 et je trouve son mécanisme assez comparable à celui d'un vrai piano à queue ; les touches rebondissent plus rapidement que sur le Kawai, et en plus, le preset Rhodes de chez Roland est parfait. Donc, il y a essentiellement deux sons que j'utilise : le piano et le Rhodes, tandis que dans mon ancien instrument, le piano était très bon mais le Rhodes n'était pas encore à la hauteur.

Il a un bouton speaker on/off qui est vraiment utile, car je l'utilise branché sur ma carte son, avec des écouteurs et ses haut-parleurs intégrés, ce qui est une option que je n'avais pas auparavant. La seule remarque c'est qu'il faut acheter une vraie pédale parce que celle envoyée par Roland est vraiment pas bon.
